Traditional Gravy For Roast Beef Lamb Pork Or Duck Recipes

Steps:

• Gently fry onion and garlic in oil until soft.
• Add stock and wine and bring to the boil.
• Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes to reduce.
• Add rosemary and redcurrant jelly, stir until disolved.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a saucepan (or in a roasting tin containing meat juices from your roast), then scatter over the flour. Stir until it forms a dark, sandy paste. Splash in the port, stir in the redcurrant jelly and cook down until sticky. Stir in the stock and simmer for 5 mins. Decant into a warmed gravy jug to serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Pat the pork all over with kitchen paper. Lightly rub all over with oil and sprinkle liberally with salt. Cook for 20 mins, turn down the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5, then cook for 30 mins per 500g (about 2 hrs). Remove from the tin, place on a serving plate and loosely cover with foil.
• Pour off excess fat from the tin. Add stock to the tin, then stir to incorporate meat juices and sticky bits at the bottom. Pour through a sieve into a small pan. Add mustard, honey and thyme, plus juices from the resting meat. Stir and simmer for 5 mins until starting to turn syrupy. Serve alongside the pork.

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat and fry the shallots, carrot and celery for 7-10 mins, or until deep golden brown. Tip in the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 min. Pour in the wine and stir to combine everything, then simmer on a low heat for a few minutes, or until the wine has reduced by half. Add the rosemary and bay leaf, then gradually stir in the lamb stock. Simmer for 30 mins, uncovered.
• Strain the gravy through a fine sieve into a clean saucepan. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and simmer on a low heat until thick and glossy, about 15-20 mins. Will keep frozen for three months.
